“L’Animo ciascuna sua passion sotto el contrario manto ricopre”. Guichardin et les passions “italiennes” dans le livre I des Essais
No full textThe article analyzes the relationship between history and the passions thorough the borrowings from the Storia d’Italia. Guicciardini by Francesco Guicciardini. Guicciardini's influence on the author of the Essais seems to extend to both the content and the form of the borrowed texts (their style, description techniques, and so on), and indeed to the treatment of the passions described. The analysis of the examples borrowed from Guicciardini in Book I fo the Essais leads to some initial conclusions ; although, there is further research yet to be done.L’étude analyse le rapport entre l’Histoire et les passions à travers les emprunts à la Storia d’Italia de Guichardin. L’influence de Guichardin sur l’auteur des Essais semble toucher tant le contenu des textes empruntés que la forme (style, modalités de la description, etc.), ainsi que le traitement des passions décrites. L’analyse des exemples empruntés à Guichardin dans le livre I des Essais permet de tirer les premières conclusions ; cependant, la recherche aurait besoin d’être poursuivie

Diagnostic framing of IgM monoclonal gammopathy: Focus on Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
No full textThe finding of an IgM monoclonal gammopathy often represents a diagnostic challenge. In fact, there are many pathological disorders associated with this condition, each of which has distinctive characteristics and requires specific clinical, instrumental, and laboratory assessments to set the appropriate treatment. This review has two aims. Firstly, to provide a framework of the broad spectrum of IgM-associated disorders: (1) monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS); (2) Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM); (3) IgM-related disorders (among which hyperviscosity syndrome, light chain amyloidosis, cold agglutinin disease, cryoglobulinaemia, IgM neuropathy, Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, skin changes (POEMS) syndrome, Castleman disease); (4) IgM-secreting multiple myeloma (IgM-MM); and (5) other lymphoproliferative disorders which may be associated with IgM (such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and B-cell non Hodgkin lymphoma). Secondly, to give a detailed insight regarding diagnosis and treatment of WM
Paclitaxel loading in PLGA nanospheres affected the <it>in vitro </it>drug cell accumulation and antiproliferative activity
No full textAbstract Background PTX is one of the most widely used drug in oncology due to its high efficacy against solid tumors and several hematological cancers. PTX is administered in a formulation containing 1:1 Cremophor® EL (polyethoxylated castor oil) and ethanol, often responsible for toxic effects. Its encapsulation in colloidal delivery systems would gain an improved targeting to cancer cells, reducing the dose and frequency of administration. Methods In this paper PTX was loaded in PLGA NS. The activity of PTX-NS was assessed in vitro against thyroid, breast and bladder cancer cell lines in cultures. Cell growth was evaluated by MTS assay, intracellular NS uptake was performed using coumarin-6 labelled NS and the amount of intracellular PTX was measured by HPLC. Results NS loaded with 3% PTX (w/w) had a mean size Conclusion These findings suggest that the greater biological effect of PTX-NS could be due to higher uptake of the drug inside the cells as shown by intracellular NS uptake and cell accumulation studies.</p
La formazione filosofica di Orazio nella lettura degli esegeti antichi
No full textIn una delle Vite di Orazio riportate dai manoscritti che conservano gli scolii antichi alla sua opera si legge che il poeta, in seguito alla formazione culturale romana, si sarebbe recato ad Atene per il tradizionale ‘viaggio d’istruzione’ al fine di apprendere la filosofia; tale insegnamento sarebbe stato innanzitutto epicureo. L’elemento costituisce una novità rispetto a quanto riportato da Svetonio, con cui le vite dei manoscritti presentano in generale evidenti affinità. L’autore della Vita riferisce inoltre che Orazio avrebbe ammesso di essere epicureo 'in principio carminis' ritenendo d’altronde felice chi agisce secondo il proprio istinto, chi considera la 'voluptas' il sommo bene. Nella lettura di un commentatore tardoantico ne derivava pertanto che Orazio fosse epicureo in questa prospettiva vengono così lette le Satire e anche - ma in maniera differente, come l’analisi mette in luce - le Epistole.One of the Lives of Horace in the manuscripts preserving the ancient scholia to his work records that the poet, following the Roman cultural education, would have gone to Athens for the traditional ‘educational journey’ in order to learn philosophy; this teaching would have been mostly epicurean. This constitutes a novelty with respect to what is reported by Suetonius, with which the lives of manuscripts generally have evident affinities. The author of the Life also says that Horace would have admitted to being an epicurean in principio carminis, considering happy who acts according to his own instinct and looks at voluptas as the highest good. Thus, in the reading of the late commentator, Horace was epicurean and the Satires and also - but in a different way, as clarified in the analysis - the Epistles are evaluated in this perspective
Compliance mechanisms under selected multilateral environmental agreements, (Co-author Ulrich Beyerlin)
No full textThe Figure of the Limit: Metalepsis
No full textIn 1972, Gérard Genette introduced in narratology the figure of metalepsis, that is «any intrusion by the extradiegetic narrator or narratee into the diegetic universe (or by diegetic characters into a metadiegetic universe, etc.), or the inverse». In other words, metalepsis is a transgression of narrative levels, a perturbation of hierarchy that raises the question of the porosity of boundaries between diegetic and metadiegetic, author and reader, fact and fiction.
In my presentation, I will show how this phenomenon is ubiquitous nowadays, and how it is settled both in highbrow and lowbrow cultural representations across various media.
Furthermore, I wish I can discuss the role of metalepsis in poetics: in my opinion, it is possible to relate this device with the history of the novel. In XVIII and XIX centuries authorial narrators made extensive use of rhetoric metalepsis for humoristic purposes (such as playing with the story-time and the discourse-time) or to exhibit their authority (through the manipulation of different threads of the narration). With Naturalism and Modernism metalepsis disappeared, according to the poetic of impersonality: authors stopped being intrusive and eclipsed behind their characters. The golden era of the figure came in the temper of Postmodernism, where ontological metalepsis flourished and the public got used to author and reader literary entering the fiction or characters exiting from it and chitchatting with their creators
Open Badge a scopo formativo: resoconto di una esperienza didattica in ambito universitario
No full textThis paper questions the possibility to use Open Badge for educational goals. A pilot experience was carried out in the Department of Education, Roma Tre University. The OBs were designed by the author and assigned to the students who successfully performed the laboratory activities within her course, titled «Comunicazione di Rete». The online Cooperative Learning laboratory engaged 31 students in the construction of a digital product and in the activation of the communication and relational modalities required in the online learning communities, as recommended by the related scientific literature. All the planned activities have been indicated in specific operating protocols, and rigorously monitored using a checklist and a rubric. The assignment of the OB allows to declare that the subject has acquired a methodology fostering the development mediation, collaboration and cooperation skills. Not all students earned the OB, but all those who have earned it have passed the exam with excellent results. Despite the inevitable critical features of a pilot project, the observation data seem to confirm the line of research that guided the activity: the use of the OB for educational purposes lies in its capability to make other-directed evaluation processes transparent and to promote forms of self-evaluation and self-direction
L’Hippolyte de Jean Yeuwain (1591). Des chœurs “tournés de Sénèque”? Le cas du chœur de l’acte II
No full textJean Yeuwain’s Hippolyte (1591) is a rewriting of Seneca’s play. However, the author introduces new elements, some of which affect the role and the linguistic features, including the versification, of the four choruses, where novelty manifests itself to the utmost degree. The first is devoted to Venus “mère des deux Cupidons” (v. 389) and to her son, “cet Archerot” (v. 396) who is constantly teasing human beings; the second is a celebration of Hippolyte’s beauty, in a natural and bucolic setting. The third deplores the lack of harmony in Nature, despite it being perfect in the proportions of the stars and the skies; the fourth laments the inconstancy of Fortune (“Fortune perverse”, v. 1891), which especially endangers the richest and most powerful people, rather than the humblest.L’Hippolyte de Jean Yeuwain (1591) est une réécriture de la pièce de Sénèque. Cependant l’auteur introduit des nouveautés par rapport au texte source. Une partie importante de ces nouveautés concerne le rôle, la langue, y compris la versification, des quatre chœurs, qui deviennent des lieux de nouveauté. Le premier est consacré à Vénus «mère des deux Cupidons» (v. 389) et à «cet Archerot» (v. 396) son fils qui ne laisse jamais en paix les humains ; le deuxième élève un chant à la beauté d’Hippolyte fuyant, s’immergeant dans un paysage naturel et bucolique. Le troisième dénonce le manque d’harmonie de la Nature, qui pourtant est parfaite dans les proportions des astres et du firmament; le quatrième déplore l’inconstance de la Fortune («Fortune perverse», v. 1891), qui expose à des périls les hommes les plus riches et les plus puissants plus que les plus modestes
